Chapter 2: The Heart of a Twin
Luke just stood there, staring at the coffin in front of him. His mother was to the left
of him and Sophia's friend, Sarah, was to his right. Matt Donner was standing at the head of the coffin, talking to everyone but Luke wasn't listening. He turned his eyes to the man,they were shimmering from unshed tears. Matt's voice rang through his head, "...we all knew how wonderful Sophia was but there was one thing that I never told anyone... Sophia wasn't an only child." Luke heard his mother gasp from beside him as he stared at the man in disbelief. How could he tell them such a thing at a time like this? Even with all the whispers, Matt continued, "Sophia had a twin sister. We sent her to live with her cousins when she was born so at least one of our children could grow up with a normal life. She has come home and will stay here." Luke watched as the Sheriff's eyes locked with his mother's. He could see the anger, disbelief and hurt in her eyes. His attension went back to Matt as he stepped aside to reveal a girl who looked exactly like Sophia but without the glasses and she had emerald green eyes. The eyes were red from tears that had long ago been shed but her face was dry. She breathed in deeply as she prepared to talk. Everyone was silent as it was revieled that she had the same beautiful voice as Sophia, "I don't know any of you in person but there are those of you that I know by the words of my sister. My name is Sophie and I loved my twin more than my own life. Being older, Sophia always looked out for me... even though we were almost worlds apart. She was always there to talk to when I felt alone in this life. I would confide in her and she did the same to me in return." She shut her eyes and took in a deep breath before she continued, "She used to always smile and tell me to look at the stars whenever I felt lost. That they would guide me and bring us together in our dreams. She loved life and would never let it go. To honor her would be to live our lives to the fullest... to do what we always wanted. That would be her wish for us." With that, she stepped back, into her father's loving embrace. He watched as her eyes stayed focused and unblinking on the coffin. Being the Alpha, it was Vivian's turn to say something. Luke never heard what she was saying because all his sences were focused on Sophie. He knew that she was the one he had seen in the woods the other night. I wonder just how much like Sophia you really are. Her gaze shifted and locked onto his, as if she had heard his thoughts.

I wonder just how much like Sophia she really is. She looked at the boy it was
coming from. This was the Luke who her sister had loved... the same Luke that had hurt her so badly. You were her world... and her dreams... but then you broke that by fucking that blond bitch at the rave so all could see. His eyes widened as she knew he had heard her, she had wanted him to. She looked away and back towards Vivian Cates as she had just finished talking. They lowered the coffin into the open grave. Sophie stepped forwards and took a handfull of dirt. She sprinkled it into the grave as she whispered, "Where two hearts had beat together... only one now remains." Her hand was empty as a single tear ran down her face. I can't take this anymore! She took off in an inhuman, almost wolven speed towards the woods. Vivian stopped Matt as he started to go after her. She looked him in the eyes, "She needs to be alone... there's only one other person who knows her pain and that is Ruby." He looked back at her, eyes filled with pain, "She felt it... she knew the moment Sophia's heart stopped. My blood had forged a link between them. They could hear each others thoughts, feel what the other was feeling and they could even see through each others eyes. Their hearts DID beat as one... when Sophia's heart stopped... Sophie's did too. She was alone and we have no clue why it started again. I almost lost BOTH my little girls, V... they are the exact same in every way. they think the same, act the same, feel the same... the only difference is that they seemed to have merged together to create one being. like a second chance for both of them to do the things they wished they had. when I used to look in both their eyes I saw fear. Fear of the change, of dieng, of being alone... but now, all I see is nothing. The fear is gone and the hope with it. It's almost like my two little girl's really are truley dead." She sighed at the pain in those eyes and in those words. She didn't want to but she had to ask, "Why didn't you tell me? She's part of the pack and you broke our laws... why?" He just looked at her with eyes that sparkled from the unshed tears and then walked away. She knew how it felt to watch a loved one be buried and that he couldn't watch. With another sigh, she turned back to her son. She heard a growl come from deep in his throat just before he took off after Sophie. "Luke!"

AUTHOR'S NOTES:

I would like everyone to know that when the twins changed, it was at the same time. Both knew that through their connection, only one could live. Sophie was unwilling to fight and wanted her sister to live because she had so much. Sophia wouldn't allow it and made sure that Sophie would live. In doing this, their minds and personalities accually merged. Sophie's is the concious one though but she will hear her sister's voice throughout the story. Don't ask how... it just is. Sophia and Sophie are one in the same. Sophia gets a second chance to do all the things she would never dare to and Sophie gets a second chance to have a family and friends, which she didn't have back home.
